SW100270 "Complete a table below for each river basin within the MS4 service area. The web sites and resource
contacts listed below under Information Sources will help you locate the information you need. Storm
water programs should be designed to address the specific needs of the community and water
resources they are intended to protect. If you haven't done so already, collect information on your city's
receiving waters and what pollutants and sources are impacting those waters. You should also know the
various uses of your receiving waters so you can design a program to protect those uses. Complete a
table below for each river basin within the MS4 service area. The web sites and resource contacts listed

to sensitive waterbodies, BMPs).

Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
SW104190 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
SW104200 Does the permittee rely on the NCDENR Division of Land Resources (DLR) Erosion and Sediment
Control Program to comply with this minimum measure for private development? (If no, go to
S W 104220 )
Yes
SW104210 If the permittee relies on the NCDENR Division of Land Resources (DLR) Erosion and Sediment Control
Program to comply with this minimum measure for private development, than the NCDENR Division of
Land Resources Erosion and Sediment Control Program effectively meets the requirements of the
Construction Site Runoff Controls by permitting and controlling development activities disturbing one or
more acres of land surface and those activities less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan
of development.
Does the permittee rely on rely on a locally delegated program to meet the minimum measure for private
IL development requirements? (If no, go to SW104300)

conduct random inspections of local land disturbing activities that have a sediment and erosion control
permit, issued by local government?

observed erosion and sedimentation problems?
SW104460 Consider coordinating this requirement with the permittee's public education program. Publicize the
procedures and contact information. The procedures must lead directly to a site inspection or other
timely follow-up action. The permittee may implement a plan promoting the existence of the NCDENR,

Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) Management Strategy, the Tar -Pamlico River Basin
Nutrient NSW Strategy, and the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed program.
SW105690 A regulated entity may develop its own comprehensive watershed plan, use the model ordinance
developed by the Commission, design its own post -construction practices based on the Division's
guidance and engineering standards for best management practices, or incorporate the
post -construction model practices to satisfy, in whole or in part, the requirements for post -construction
stormwater management.
